A Tilted View

Greetings and salutations!

Sounds Good!

Summary: In which a wait continues; another wait ends--and thus brings new audio; demo-packaging has begun; the pitch looms; and a boss-fight is (in part) prototyped.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot shows (in part) a start to the prototyping of a new boss-fight:
